INDIAN HONESTY.


Story Of . Cherokee Which Furnish e Con-
siderable Food for Reflection
According 70 the San Francisco Chroaick
there can hardly be a doubt that there il
something wrong about the indian coun-
try. There Is not a Jail anywhere within
the bounds Of the Cherokee reserva ton.
No country can ever be At a high point OF
civilization in which there are no iails and
nobody docs any thing TO necl them. We
have always been taught 70 look upon
Damon and Pythias rs one Of the mo 81
beautiful stories OF friendship and
honor. Listen to this from the
Cherokee Indian and ask yourself II
IL does not give you some different
opinion OF him. An Indian was shot for
killing another man some time 2 A
stranger in the Territory happened to BE-
with the sheriff when the news that the
appeal had beer lost and the sentence
must be carried out.
Yes said the sheriff, srll have 10
have the poor fellow shot"
Where i hes Idon't see any jail
He's At home.-
"A prisoner under sentence OF death at
home"
Certainly; he's out on his word. He's
been al home three months. We've got no
jails here
We'll. . don't expect to get him to
come and be shotis
Certainly I do. Hen be here tomorrow.
] sent for him.
And the merry stranger laughed. Next
day he was on and TO witness the sherif's
discontinue. But q few minutes before
the hour a cavalcadc appeared In the dis
tancc. II was headed BY a manly young
Indian and IL was made up Of his friends.
They rode gallantly up and the young In
dian surrendered him self to the sheriff.
he went about among the crowd. shook
hands with everybody, gave one his sad
die, another his horse, and 50 on, until he
had disposed OF all he possessed. Then no
selected his bosom friend as the man to
fire the fatal shot an honor his bosom
friend esteemed highly. He took his
place; pinned . piece OF blue ribbon over
his heart. the point the bullet was to take,
and stood up like = man. A fcw seconds,
there was . shot, and he was dead. 4
wonder II there Il nothing AZ all the white
can learn from the Cherokee Indian.

Persons and Metals Correctly.
James Mitchell, who died in or about
1888, in the County of Marin, in Scot
land, and was born blind on NoSem-
Der IL, 1895, recognized, says the
"World of Wonders, different per-
sons by smelling. The famous Mr..
Moyle mentions blind man at Utrecht
who could distinguish different metals
by the different odors, and Martials
records the case of q person named
Mamurra, who could tell by smelling
whether copper was true Corinthian or
not. Indian travellers have recorded
that certain natives who habitually abb
stain from animal food have sense Of
smelling which is SO exquisitely deli
cate that they can tell from which
well avessel of water has been obtained.
1t has been related that by smell alone
the negroes of the Antilles will detect
the footsteps Of n Frenchman from
those OF a negro. Marco Marci has
left an account OF a monk in Prague
who could tell by smelling any thing
given TO him who has handled IL. The
guides who accompany travellers IN the
route from Aleppo to Babylon will tell
by smelling the desert sand how near
they arc to the latter place. Nathaniel
Wanlcy in his 'Wonders of the Little
World" a famous old book, gives q
particularly full account of q man,
called John of Liege, who, when boy,
flying In terror of soldiers in time Of
war, passed MANY wears alone in the
depths Of the forest of Ardcnnes, where
he lived upon roots and wild fruits, the
presence of which he could detect q
great distance by the smell alone. In
the same way he detected the presence
of men long before they came in sight.

THE COMING GUN.
Weapons OF tho Hammerless and Magazine
Patterns tho Most Popular.

Weapons OF tho Hammerlcss and Magazine
Patterns tho Most Popular.
The gun has evoluted marvelously in
the past twenty years. We can re-
member when the pin fire first came in;
then the central fire, and old sports
men patted their longtime friends ard
scornod the guns that broke in two.
Now we have hammerless and maya
zine guns. and strange to say, we arc
getting back to the small bores used
by our grandfathers, for the other day
l held in my hand twenty which was
listed at 1915, every suitable for a
lady," and any number of sixteens
about the same figure. That was an inn
ported gun, but there are some mighty
good weapons made in this country,
although the great majority are i'm
ported, either finished or in the rough,
from the workshops of Birmingham
and Liege.
The cheapest article on the market
is wholesaled at Sl.50, with discount
of twenty-five per cent. for cash, and
it is in high favor among the colored
population of the South. The noxt
grades are 81 and 1925, and you can
get n bouble-barrcl for so. These
are muzzle-loaders. The cheapest
breech-loader is a musket con-
verified with the Snyder action. This
will cost you 1886 and is clumsy but
strong weapon. There are a number
of single breech-loaders, side-snaps,
top-snaps and other snaps, ranging up
to $40, but none of which is of much
account, and the double guns which
run from 81 up. A warranted gun of
American finish can be purchased from
$50 to $40, which will do as good work
as any one could ask.
But the coming gun is the hammer
less, and very handsome ones are
finished in this country and wholesaled
at from 800 to 1925 in the lower grades,
to 1925 for finest work. Magazine
guns are also coming to the front at
about the same figures, and although
these latter are as yet somewhat of an
experiment, the experience of those
who handle rifles is in their favor. A
novelty is duck gun composed Of
seven 32-bore barrels inclosed in
one, which shoots simultaneously
seven long bullet cartridges, and
will kill at 200 yards. Other new
ideas are combination shot and riho
barrels, side by side and also over and
under, and new double gun which is
choked and rihed on the choke, so that
a bullet Is twisted when fired.-Indian.
